The attempt of the GAINESVILLE editor of the
CHRONICLE to deprive Capt. John Hagler of
the credit OF one of his best jokes by ascribing
it to Mark Twain is simply atrocious. Capt.
Hagler has many good ones always on hand,
and we are indebted to him for the story, and
we don't suppose he ever read Mark Twain
and he would like to know where, and in
vites the CHkosIcLR man to point 1t out.

Next Monday itshould be remembered that
the Quarterly County Court meets in Erin.
According to a recent act of the Legislature it
is made the duty of all the magistrates in the
county TO attend the Quarterly Courts, and
as this Is sort of legislative body in County
matters 1t Is important that none of them
should neglect to put in an appearance If
possible.
The refreshing rains of the past week,
while they have somewhat interfered with
the hay harvesting have very mnch i'm
proved the crop prospects In Houston. Very
good rains fell on Monday and Tuesday.
These will doubtless size up the crops both Of
corn and vegetables to first class. Under the
discouraging prices early In the season there
will be considerable calling of probably
amounting TO one third) of the area usually
devoted to tobacco, Corn never looked bet
ter,
